Insolvency & Restructuring
With a vast number of specialists in insolvency and restructuring, our members regularly appear in courts and tribunals of every level in England and Wales (including the Privy Council) and internationally (particularly in the BVI, the Cayman Islands, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Gibraltar and the Channel Islands).
We have been instructed in relation to many of the major domestic and international insolvencies of the last few decades across a wide variety of industries, including banking and financial services, retail, tech, sport, construction and charities. Particularly significant cases include BCCI, Barlow Clowes, Enron, Barings, Northern Rock, MG Rover, Lehman Bros, Kaupthing Bank, MF Global, Fairfield Sentry (and other Madoff schemes), Force India Formula One, Cambridge Analytica, Farepak, GAME, Carillion, Debenhams and Kids Company to name only some.
Notably, our members have represented and continue to act for a diverse client base, frequently advising and appearing for officeholders, creditors (secured, unsecured and those acting in a representative capacity), directors, debtors (whether corporations, individuals, partnerships or estates), shareholders, other contributories and the Crown. As such, we are experienced in a wide range of restructuring and insolvency matters, handling many different issues arising in the context of corporate and personal insolvencies, including cross-border matters.
Maitland and its members are – and have been for many years – highly ranked in the legal directories for insolvency and restructuring. Moreover, matters falling within such fields regularly engage other legal disciplines, including company law, directors’ duties, fraud and asset recovery, trusts, property rights and various interim applications. Our particular strength lies in the multi-specialism expertise of our members and in our ability to provide a team of silks and juniors with a breadth of appropriate expertise in cross-disciplinary matters, however complex the case. Our members – from the most senior KCs to the most junior members – therefore provide the full range of advisory and advocacy services for clients involved in insolvency and restructuring matters, including asset recovery.
